These actions were claimed as acts of protest by the Earth Liberation Front (ELF). On June 3, 2008, Arrow pled guilty to 2 counts of arson and was sentenced with 78 months in prison.〔http://www.oregonlive.com/news/index.ssf/2008/08/tre_arrow_to_be_sentenced_toda.html Tre Arrow sentenced to 6 1/2 years in prison〕 He was released to a halfway house in 2009.
==Background==
Arrow first came to public attention in July 2000 when he scaled a U.S. Forest Service building in downtown Portland, Oregon and lived on a nine-inch ledge for eleven days, to protest the plan to log near Eagle Creek, Oregon.〔 His protest played an important role in reversing the Forest Service's plans to log the area.
Arrow ran for Congress in 2000 and received 15,000 votes as a Pacific Green Party candidate.
In October 2001, he suffered a broken pelvis, broken ribs and a concussion when he fell 60 feet from a hemlock tree where he had perched to protest a logging sale in Tillamook County.〔Wentz, Patty and Chris Bryant "Fallen Arrow"(), ''Willamette Week'', October 10th, 2001, accessed May 14, 2011.〕
